Report on Best Available Technologies (BAT) for central receiver systems

This deliverable presents the outcome of Subtask 5.1.1. It collects the information about the Best Available Technologies (from a techno-economic standpoint) amongst those currently used in (i.e. steam Rankine cycle) or potentially applicable to (i.e., already proposed in literature) CSP plants based on central receiver systems. This information constitutes a mandatory starting point since it will later be used to benchmark SCARABEUS. The sources for information will be the scientific literature and the proprietary information owned by the industry partners of the consortium that have experience in the design, construction and operation of CSP power plants as well as information from scientific databases.
